As time went on, she avoided interfering with people's choices, only stepping in when she saw immediate disaster. And then the Bright came. They weren't as obvious as they might have been, but over time, choices became fewer and fewer, people gave control over to them. And then, one day, she found the cracks.

Be it a series of branching paths, a room, a mountain top, the world constantly changes, leaving only leaves as a constant.
